Eofauna: New for 2022

[SidB]

That's going to be one long box!

Yeah, makes me concerned for shipping prices ordering through Minizoo. I was hoping I could order this through them so I could also grab some of the new 2022 CollectA's

Oh well! Dan's it is then!

Me too!

It is a complete whim that konobelodon, it is a marvel. That figure will further increase the diversity of prehistoric elephants.

[Duna]

It just looks like a real picture of a living animal ...

Dan's Dinosaurs has a special offer for Eofauna preorders until the 12th. Check the OP.

Thanks! I just pre-ordered one.

Going off the card, compared to the humans, I've resized the model to see how it looks next to the deinotherium. 
Measured it out in photoshop so the size should be fairly accurate.  Dan's Dinosaurs list it as 9 L x 4 H in (23 L x 11 H cm).
Its bigger than I thought it would be.

Thank you @croco_105 and well done!
I figured it would be somewhat smaller than the Deinotherium, plus the price was a $10 difference.

I would have liked that one more with a closed mouth....think it would have pointed out more the very weird combination of tusk shapes and trunk.

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

This is a fantastic comparison, thank you!

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

Here's another angle on the Konobelodon that gives a good sense of the exact shape of the bottom tusks and jaw.

Added a group shot to the OP.

[Lanthanotus]

Thanks for the group shot, really nice,... though the image somewhat emphasizes what I said before.... would so love to see an Eofauna proboscidian with a less agitated, I dare say calm, pose.

[Arctinus]

There are still plenty of species to choose from, so maybe we'll get a more calm/neutral one. Personally, I would like to see one grazing (though, I guess that would work more with species with long trunks).

[PhilSauria]

Great group shot!

While I'd like to see more Dinosaurs from Eofauna I'm also quite fond of Elephants, both ancient and extant, so I'll be adding this one to the herd.

Palaeoloxodon?

[suspsy]

The Deinotherium could easily be interpreted as grazing on branches while walking and the Palaeoloxodon could simply be swinging its trunk to one side, but they could just as easily be engaging in display behaviour. And the steppe mammoth is totally either showing off.

Modern elephants tend to fold back their ears and curl up their trunks when they are charging full blown to attack something, which is something I have yet to see in any proboscidean toy. I'd like that.

I hadn't heard of Konobelodon before. The figure looks wonderful, very lifelike pose.

I dare quite a different view.... as expressed in my review of the Eofauna Deinotherium, if one assumes the same kind of gait as in modern elephants (an amble, or walk where both limbs of one side move before the other side has its turn), the stance of the figure`s legs could only be observed in a (near) maximum speed moving animal. The Palaeoloxodon has its ears folded out and mouth wide open. As far as I have seen video material of elephants (never live I am afraid), the charge goes with the ears folded out, trunk held down or being moved wildly.

Nevertheless, I guess I have to add this Konolobelodon, not because I am completist (missed out on the Triceratops by intention) or collector of every available species, but because I know Eofauna`s other elephants and they are just too good.
